The chi-comms have stealth drones, spy satellites, and half of the American government in their pocket.....this "balloon" nonsense is a psy op, end of story. Who spies on another country and uses technology from the 1800's that's so big, a random farmer can spot it with the naked eye. I'm not sure what's going on that the media felt the American public need to be distracted ....but this whole thing is a giant nothing burger.

I'm sure Biden paid for it personally to spy as he is senile and not even in charge. Hussein Soetoro in his illegal third shadow term just told him to do it, like he has done since 2020.

Very disturbing? Girl Scouts launch weather balloons for fuck's sake. I am pretty sure I could buy the same balloon at any hobby shop and it'll have a "made in China" stamp on it.

I doubt you will find all that specialized surveillance hardware at the hobby shop. The balloon itself is huge, more likely to find an old weather balloon at a US military surplus outlet.

Out of the box generic stuff, not specialized/weaponized for Military level eavesdropping/jamming. I get the gist though, if one were a brilliant engineer they might be able to repurpose some consumer level electronics stuff to replicate some of the capabilities of this spy balloon.
